Most money I've ever carried at any one time was when I worked for a retail company. I was still in highschool and for one reason or another the store manager trusted me to carry that nights deposit which had to the tune of around 90k dollars in it. How you could trust a 16 year old with that amount of cash astounds me to this day.

Long story short, people in retail and food service are often pretty dumb

Have you never had a pot pie before? What did you expect, some sort of french culinary dream?

When I worked chain store minimum wage job in high school, if I closed I had to follow the manager to the bank and witness the deposit (well *a* deposit anyway). Less likely employee is gonna be jumped at 11 PM in a bank parking lot and tends to discourage stuff like this from happening. Crazy concept.

Being an employee, I WANT to argue this, but my managers make it really damn hard.

I've worked for at least three companies where employees have tried this sort of thing. "Oh, I got robbed in the parking lot" or "They were stolen out of my car" or "I left it on the counter JUST FOR A SECOND and someone grabbed it and ran".

mscleo:I can't even imagine a reason for having two days worth of deposits.

Banks are closed on Sundays, and various holidays. Some places don't use the sealable drop bags, and have to actually take the deposit in. My store will sometimes, expecially on Thursdays, oddly enough, be really busy in the morning and the manager won't be able to go.

Personally, two days, maybe three, is the most I will let myself leave. Any more than that and I get nervous about the money in the store.

St. Hubert's pot pies come close. And their chicken actually has flavour. Only thing I stop for in Quebec apart from refilling my tank on the way to and from T.O.

The town I grew up in to this day has a weird thing where all the bussinesses save resturants close at 2pm on Thursdays. I could see not making a deposit if you didn't want to use the drop slit. Miss Friday for some reason, Sat and Sunday ok unless you are making the drop before noon on sat I get not making it especially if say the manager isn't there and you've got an assistant that follows rules to the letter. That would give you 5 days on a Monday. Then again with cash tallies being deceased due to increased use of cards do you still have a big reason for daily or near daily deposits?

Sounds like you got a bad deal.

The pot pies at our KFC are awesome - and pretty damn big for $4 (something like 800+ calories).

mscleo:styckx: 6 days worth of deposits? Holy shiat.. Two jobs I had deposits had to be done every-single-day and if you missed a day you were fired no questions asked..

This.

I worked at a couple of fast food joints when I was younger and deposits are done on a daily basis.

I can't even imagine a reason for having two days worth of deposits. Maybe a snowstorm and you can't get to the bank? Then there wouldn't be much to deposit anyway.

Bad management if they didn't figure out that the deposits weren't being made daily.

Meh. I work retail, but it's office supply, not food service. We don't usually drop more than a couple hundred bucks at a time. (If that.)

Anyway, we'll usually leave the saturday/sunday drops in the safe and deposit them all on monday, since we're way understaffed on the weekend and nobody is interested in either coming in early or staying after clock-out time to walk it over to the bank. (Dude, that's, like, 3 whole blocks.)

THIS. How in the hell is a KFC franchise getting away without making a deposit for a week?

When I worked at Gamestop, we only did deposits twice a week, and being a retailer that sold high-value electronics and other devices, we usually had quite a bit of cash on hand- deposits would be tallied and counted at close of business, and put in a safe, to be deposited on a day when there was enough staff to cover the store in the morning, so the other (usually me) could do a bank run.

Reminds me of a neighbor I had at one time. Not even sure what he did for a living, but he came knocking on my door one night around 10pm to tell me that his car was broken into and the receipts form the business where he worked had been stolen. He warned me to keep an eye on my vehicle...cuz...robbers. Now, I only knew the guy's first name, didn't know where he worked, he had never been to my house; in fact, my ONLY interaction with him was waving as I drove in or out of the neighborhood...and he's warning me to watch my car (cuz...robbers), in a nice, low crime neighborhood.

After he left, my wife asked me what was going on, and I told her "I don't know, looks like Ben stole money from his boss and he's trying to cover his ass...or something."

KFC employee leaves six days worth of deposits in a sports car with doors that don't lock, tells police they were stolen. That he spent a couple of days at bars drinking had nothing to do with it

I was going to say "define employee, you mean manager right?" but this thread has taught me it's normal to give this much money to an employee. I've only carried a few hundred/a few thousand when I was running things - but I have almost no retail experience.

Huh. I would think a fast-food chain would be depositing every day, maybe not. Anyone who works/worked fast food want to weigh in? Not that it really matters, I'm just interested.
